Yeah, that’s where folks would have built a city 12,000 years ago. Off Baptiste Collette.
Last glacial maximum was 20,000 years ago and first known humans in North America crossed the land bridge at Bering straits 13,500 years ago.
That area would have been dry during that time and near the coastline
Not saying the guy is right, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility either. There are lots of unknowns in the history of the earth we haven’t discovered yet. I’ve always hated those who ridicule others for searching for lost treasures or cities, you need people like that because if nobody searches for answers, then the answers are never found.

The oldest mound in Louisiana dates back to 11000 years ago. It is possible there was a large civilization living there because sea level would have been much lower.

My first question is now did granite rocks get there? Granite isn’t common in LA.

Another a-hole trying to get into the alt history/ancient aliens grift.

Who knows what happened 12,000 years ago around present day Louisiana? The people that knew aren’t here anymore and the people trying to figure it out should get support, not hate. People that keep pretending that everything just magically started happening a couple thousand years ago need to sit down and do a little math.
for the cost of one missile that we piss away on dumb shite, we could send an expedition group with the gear to spend years there figuring out if this is something or not. I would so much rather spend our tax money on this than sending more shite to Ukraine.

Just goes to show you that people were stupid enough to live in LA even longer than first believed.

Yea I'd be more surprised to hear there wasn't a city along what used to be the coast

Y?
Sea levels were different.

Your point is entirely valid.
I just wanted to use “Baptiste Collette” here in some appropriate context.
The wild historical geographical vacillations of the mouth of the Mississippi are quite interdasting.
Old US Highway 90 between the Chef & the Rigolets is reportedly built on a former Mississippi River-related riverbank.
And global sea levels in human existence were much lower. One could have walked South from the present site of Biloxi at least 50 miles before reaching the Gulf in the past 10,000 years.
(I’d have stayed at the Beau Rivage, it’s climate-controlled)

Why 12,000 years? Why not 8,000 or 10,500?

LSU archaeology professor Rob Mann told local newspaper the Advocate in 2011 that he believed the granite slabs originated from an abortive attempt to build an artificial reef
I’m sure Mann then complained how someone spent money on the artificial reef while he still has to vacuum his office with a dirt devil.
I had to look this up because I was wondering when Mann became an archaeologist. Different guy. This Rob Mann is now at St Cloud State University. Poor dude had to share a name with the more well-known Robert Mann while at LSU. Wonder how much hate email he got from people who didn’t pay attention?

12,000 years is always used due to the scorched earth in this area due to the Younger dryas.

More than possible, probable.

All of a sudden, Europeans found out that there were people living on the Dogger Bank which is now totally flooded. It's in, yes, in the North Sea east of England. It didn't have the massive fine sediment coming in and burying it that anything near the mouths of the Mississippi had.
